Up beat emotional interviews sell well to the fans. But that is not in any formula to win races. It bothers me also that JJ is so placid, as a fan. But, if you ever hear him and Chad on the radio during a race. The emotional flat line works well in getting things accomplished. I remember an Indy race where they monitored the drivers heart rate. Every single drivers pulse went up nearing the start except for one driver, and that was AJ Foyt. To me that shows a very focused mind.

JJ looks like he has to act after winning a race. OK be happy!

I remember once a few years ago when AJ Foyt had a car in NASCAR and it ran out of gas. He grabbed the laptop that his crew chief was using and threw it on the ground and jumped up and down on it. They had to bleep out most of what he said but at least he shows some emotion and always has even when he was driving in the Indy cars. And as I have already said, JJ and his crew work together better than any other in NASCAR, including Jeff Gordon. JJ just radios in what is going on with details and Chad tells him we will take care of it, just hang on. On the other hand you have Bush screaming at his crew and they can't do anything right and that is not going to make any crew chief very happy.
